Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this antenna actually improve my radio reception?
No. This product is strictly for decorative purposes and does not contain any electronic components to boost or receive radio signals.
Can I paint this antenna to match my car color?
Yes, the plastic surface is paintable, though we recommend using a plastic-adhesion primer before applying your topcoat.
Will the adhesive damage my car's paint?
When removed carefully, usually with the help of a hairdryer to soften the adhesive and a specialized adhesive remover, it should not damage your factory paint.
Is this safe for automatic car washes?
While the adhesive is strong, high-pressure car washes or mechanical spinning brushes can catch the fin and compromise the bond. Hand washing is highly recommended.
Does the temperature during installation matter?
Yes. Try to install the antenna when the ambient temperature is between 65°F and 90°F (18°C - 32°C) for the best adhesive curing results.
Troubleshooting
The antenna is peeling off the roof
The surface was likely not clean enough during installation. Remove the unit, clean the area with alcohol, remove old adhesive residue, and use a new strip of double-sided automotive mounting tape.
The base does not sit flush on the roof
Verify the roof section is not too steeply curved. If the gap is small, you can apply an additional layer of automotive-grade adhesive tape to bridge the uneven surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
- Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on your vehicle roof using isopropyl alcohol to remove wax, grease, and road grime.
- Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
- Peel the protective backing from the pre-applied adhesive tape.
- Carefully align the antenna and press down firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure proper bonding.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the area to heavy rain for 24 hours following installation to allow the adhesive to reach full strength.
- Use mild car wash soap and a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrub brushes that could damage the finish or weaken the adhesive.
